Mangaluru, Oct 21: A 26-year-old man who was about to board a UAE-bound flight at Mangaluru International Airport was arrested by the security forces and handed over to the local police yesterday in connection with a four year old case.

Abdul Rahiman, 26, a resident of Manjeshwar in Kasargod, was produced before a local court soon after his arrest on Saturday.

The police was on look out for him since 2014 in a case pertaining to a riot at Kanyana in the Vitla police station limits in Bantwal taluk. He had been been evading trial since then.

Taking cognisance of this, the additional civil judge and judicial magistrate first class, of the court in Bantwal, on February 13 this year, issued a warrant against him.

Based on a tip-off that Rahiman was at the Mangaluru International Airport to fly to UAE, police from the Bajpe station issued a look out circular and nabbed him. Police said trials were pending against Rahiman in several other cases as well.

Mangaluru’s public transport revolution: 100 new govt electric buses to end private ‘trip-cutting’

News Network

December 19,2025

Mangaluru: Public transport in Mangaluru is set for a state-led transformation as the government moves to deploy 100 new electric govt buses to replace unreliable private services. The initiative aims to provide a dependable alternative to private operators who have been frequently "cutting trips," leaving thousands of commuters stranded.

The announcement was made by Deputy Commissioner and MCC Administrator Darshan HV during a public phone-in session. The move specifically targets routes where private bus service has become erratic, ensuring that citizens no longer have to rely on a fluctuating private sector for their daily commute.

Restoring the Govt Presence

The transport crisis was brought to the forefront by Ramayya, a resident of Bajal, who highlighted a growing trend of private buses skipping morning and night trips. With the previous KSRTC (govt) services discontinued, residents have been left without a fallback option.

To fix this, the DC confirmed that the PM-eBus Sewa Scheme will bring 100 government-owned electric buses to the city:

• Phased Deployment: The first 50 of the new 100 government buses are scheduled to arrive by March 2026.

• State Infrastructure: Two new government depots, including one at Mudipu, are being prepared for operations.

• Recruitment: The state has already begun training a new batch of government bus drivers to ensure the fleet is operational the moment it arrives.
